Kawhi also: -plays very good defense -doesn't slowly walk it up and use up a lot of the shot clock dribbling so many times -doesn't average so many turnovers -moves off ball -shoots efficiently in the playoffs
Morey will probably end up with the next Melton instead of Siakam because of his overemphasis on analytics.
Kawhi shot 5-14 against the Warriors last night. Harden averaged 35/7/6 on 44/36/83. Lets see how Kawhi's averages fare when the series is done.
He had 23 points on 14 shots for a .596 TS%, only slightly below his regular season. Harden's TS% for the playoffs was .567 this year. He hasn't been above .590 in the playoffs since 2015 (back when he played faster and was more willing to move)
This^. I've been saying it for yrs., we've never had a stellar SF nor PF with Harden, even when we had Ariza. Parsons was above average his 1st couple of yrs but feel off. These are things Morey need to address
Morey, From this point moving forward, you need to implement a HEIGHT, WEIGHT, SPEED ELEMENT TO YOUR PLAYER EVALUATIONS......WE NEED ATHLETES
If he had someone else on his team that could score 30+ points and a center that could score 20+ points and make a shot outside the paint, he wouldn’t even need to go past 5 games.
More like Brian Gaine. But I like the fact of not putting someone undersize in the frontcourt. The only undersized player I think you can get by with is the PG. Very few undersize players flourish in the NBA (Win Championships).
1. We need a center that can stretch a defense 2. We need competent finishers to take advantage of #1 Get Brook Lopez on this team and cough up money for Danuel House.
And still had a higher TS% than Harden had in his past game. 59.6>57.8 It helps when your star makes 10-12 free throws. Sorry to blow up your narrative.
Oh yea that’s right, Kawhi gets “playoff” calls cause you know he’s not flailing or foul baiting naaah no way. He “earned” his 10 FTs. They def didnt miss any blatant 3point calls in game 1 for Harden no sir, dude is just a flopper. Cmon man. Also I wanna add Kawhi isn’t a playmaker so I’ll take the shot creation provided by Harden over the 2% points in TS.
Siakam isn’t just height. It’s not that simple. That guy can ball. You guys are acting like if we just had any 6’11 PF we would have won.
